Distribution David and April Hilton-Sykes, Publishers Letters to the Editor Sounds like blackmail To the Editor: Just want to voice my opinion on the Gary Marks situation on having the city co-sign for a down payment on a house. Who does he think he is. God? Well, he isn’t. Does he think he’s non replaceable? Well he can be replaced as easily as the rest of us can. And to me it sounds like a form of black mail, threatening to quit if we don't co-sign. Well, I say pack your bag and good luck at the next stop. We need to stop this kind of crap in our government. Let’s start right here at home, and go on up where needed. Heppner Council People: A suggestion, if you would run a copy of your agenda in advance to your meetings, people could voice their opinions before things go to far. And, maybe if you didn’t greet people with “ What are you doing here?” more of us would show more of an interest in city government. But most of all, remember you are representing the city as a whole, not just a few individuals. (s) Marlene Gray Wells Spring site under control To the Editor: l am writing in response to Tom Hughes letter concerning the condition of the Well Springs Oregon Trail Site on Emmigrant Road. This site is under the control of the Navy Bombing Range person nel. Therefore, Morrow County Historical Society must work in cooperation and with the permis sion of the Navy. In December a group of interested persons met with Navy Lieutenant Page and Glen Hinsdale of the National Park service to discuss plans for the Oregon Trail in that area. The navy has a contract with National Park Service to draw up a plan for development of the site. This plan cannot be implemented before the end of the year. Therefore, members of the Mor row County Historical Society are doing their best to prepare the site for the influx of visitors ex pected this summer to celebrate the Sesquicentennial of the great migration on the Oregon Trail which began in 1843. The infor mation signs are now in place in the Kiosk with a place to register your name when you visit the site. This last spring members of the Oregon-California Trails Association placed white markers along the trail to mark the ruts. Local members are getting the site cleaned up and the fence mended. We want to keep the area as natural as we can. Therefore we are leaving the old locust tree just as it is when it fell in the storm of August 6, 1990. Anyone who is interested in preserving historical sites in the county is invited to join the local historical society by contacting Ruth McCabe, Delpha Jones or Jean Nelson or any other member.
